We recently hired Dragon Pavers to landscape the backyard of our new home. We have a relatively large lot(about 1/3 acre) and the backyard has a 7' drop off within 10' of the back door. In addition, we have a homeowners association with specific rules about plants, hardscape, fencing and other materials. Landscaping is required here and plans must be submitted, reviewed and approved within specified timeframes before work can begin. After soliciting bids from 3 different companies, we selected Dragon Pavers. Although they were not the lowest bidder, we talked to neighbors who had hired them and were able to take a look at some of their work. We were impressed not only by the neighbors recommendation, but by the quality of the paver installations which we saw. Our backyard landscape was a large project which included over 1500 sq feet of pavers, a free standing privacy wall, a series of steps to the lower yard, retaining walls, large boulders, turf, trees, lighting, and a putting green. I was understandably nervous about not only the cost and size of the project, but also about hiring a contractor who would take the job to a satisfactory completion. There are quite a few landscapers working in my neighborhood and the quality of their work varies considerably. Don, the owner of Dragon Pavers, took care of planning the yard and gaining HOA approval. The Dragon Pavers crew was on-site on the scheduled date and spent 5 weeks working on our yard. All work was completed on time. The work crew was polite and friendly, open to suggestions, and quick to attend to any of my concerns. I was impressed at their skill in placing heavy boulders precisely and artfully. My patio and the surrounding walls included many curves. The crew spent hours making precise cuts to make the pavers fit tight and worked the walls into and around large boulders. Don was always available for consultation and was determined to get things right. Going in to the project, I had no idea of the extensive labor involved. The Dragon Paver's crew was uncompromising in their attention to details. The patio, steps and wall are flat and straight, joints are tight and curves are even. I am very pleased with the workmanship. While my project was underway, my neighbor was also having a backyard installed by a competitor. This enabled me to compare the work in my yard with the work performed by the other crew. I think even my neighbor would agree that the work done by Dragon Pavers was superior and a better value. I am happy with this company and would recommend them to neighbors. I would hire them again. read more

We were new to the area and in our newly constructed home wondering what to do with the blank canvas, aka our backyard. I can't tell you how my wife choose Dragon Pavers to call, but we're both glad we did. Don, the owner met with me with in a couple of days of our first phone conversation. Don was on time, professional and very easy to talk to. After looking at the empty backyard he questioned me about our ideas, likes and dislikes. He ended the first meeting by telling me to expect an email in a few days. He said the email would include his ideas of what the yard could become. When we got the email we were amazed at the 3D animated video of our backyard completed. The video included everything we talked about and included Don's creative ideas which we loved. After some tweaks we agreed on the plan. Before the project got started Don worked with our HOA getting the project approved which was great. Once work got started it was nonstop. No delays except for a couple snow days which Don was always in contact with me letting me know what was happening. His crew was always friendly, professional and hardworking. Don said the project would take about three weeks weather permitting which was accurate. The project was issue free and we are so excited about the new living space. The space turned out well above our expectations. read more

Don, the owner of Dragon Pavers, and his crew are fantastic and true professionals. We had a backyard of only dirt. Don worked with my husband and I to create a beautiful xeriscape design with everything we were looking for in a small backyard. He listened to what I liked, what I did not like and used his extensive knowledge about the area to help me choose the best plants and stonework. Don worked extremely well with our HOA to ensure that everything we wanted to do was approved in advance of any work. Once the work started his crew was top-notch. They were pleasant, quiet and extremely hard-working. One could see that these guys had worked a long time with Don and respected him and respected the work they were doing. Another thing that I especially appreciated about the crew is that they cleaned up each evening when they left. I could not have been happier. Our neighbors have hired workers who were loud, disrespectful of our property and used profanity on a daily basis. Don's crew was a breath of fresh air, indeed. I changed my mind on a couple of items and Don was amenable to the changes and I was not charged huge change fees. We would absolutely hire Don and his crew again for any stonework, lighting and landscaping needs that we might have in the future. read more

My husband and I finally decided to bite the bullet and get our dirt yard professionally landscaped. A friend of ours had posted pics of his yard that had recently been completed. We ended up meeting with Don from Dragon Pavers and hit it off immediately. He listened to our ideas and within a week or so came back with an amazing rendering. We suggested a few things and then he expanded on that even more! Don and his crew were prompt, clean and very easy to communicate with when we changed some things. I can't say enough about the quality of work and pride Don and his crew have. They treated our yard like it was their own sanctuary. Don's other business Tee Time Greens' was used to incorporate artificial lawn into our yard and I'm so surprised at how great it looks and feels. What a perfect way to have a green lawn year round and save money too! We've heard stories of nightmare landscaping projects and couldn't be more pleased with how seamless the process was with Don and his crew. We highly recommend him for your landscaping needs!

Don, the owner, and the other professionals with Dragon Pavers came to our home and assisted us with our complete design and installation for our backyard which included drainage, irrigation lines for plantar boxes and drip lines, artificial turf, pavers, a dry river rock bed, and installation of rock. They took our backyard from weeds and dirt to an amazing oasis in five days! Their work was top notch and exceptional. Their pricing was spot on and affordable. They kept the job site clean every day which was very considerate to us and our neighbors. We would highly recommend to anyone and everyone as they are wonderful to work with. I wish we could give them more than five stars. Thank you, Don and Dragon Pavers. read more

Dragon Pavers installed gorgeous pavers in my driveway and walkways. So many neighbors have stopped to admire. This company is the best! Timely, efficient, superior workmanship and knowledge. Don is fantastic to work with and patiently answers all my questions and listened to my ideas. He coordinated the paver job with his highly recommended plumbing company to install a snow melt system under the pavers. They also installed a natural looking dry creek drainage system that is both beautiful and functional for a problem area of my yard. This company is the most professional contractor I have ever worked with! I highly recommend them. read more

Don showed up and took a look at our yard (completely bare at the time). Told him we were having a pool and spa installed. He worked with the pool company to design our backyard. They installed a firepit, all the pavers, a section of artificial turf that we requested and a low maintenance garden. Everything flows together nicely into a work of art. We have received many compliments on his work and we would strongly recommend Dragon Pavers for anyone looking to have work done on their yard. read more
